Patriotic Themed Rock Music To Be Performed At IIT & Other Central Universities

The Ministry of Human Resource Development in India has for a few additions in the lives of university students to instil more patriotism. Earlier this month the government asked educational institutions to take students to memorials of freedom fighters and residences of martyrs before the Independence day celebrations. Now the HRD Ministry has asked universities to host bands that will perform more patriotic numbers.

The government has selected certain bands that will be touring campuses across the country to perform patriotic numbers, especially from Bollywood. It’s a part of a programme called “Yeh India ka time hai,” and it’s been organized to celebrate 70 years of India’s Independence and 75 years of the Quit India Movement this year.

“A private entertainment firm has been taken on board which has identified around a dozen rock bands. The shows will be planned in various institutions over the next month,” a senior official said.
